Moving away from coal a must, South Africa’s ‘Cancel Coal’ case holds
Civil society organisations claimed a landmark victory against fossil fuel power in South Africa on December 4 when the High Court in Pretoria turned down the national government’s plan to add more coal-fired power stations to the country’s power grid. According to the court, the government’s plan was “inconsistent with the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa” and thus unlawful.
In its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), the government of South Africa announced in October 2019 that it plans to add 1,500 MW of coal power to the country’s national grid – 750 MW by 2023 and another 750 MW by 2027.
